For those of you getting your exam results...

It's been a couple of days since I last blogged. I've just been feeling really tired after work, that and I've been doing a lot of reading for my degree. What a crazy lifestyle I have aha. You can read more about this here

As you know, this blog is heavily influenced by current events as well as what beauty products I'm loving etc.

I reaslied that on Thursday, a lot of you received your A level results and a lot of you will get your GCSE results this Thursday. I found myself wondering how fast the summer holidays are going!

I wish you all luck, I know this is a very uncertain and stressful time. But if you put the work in then you should be rewarded ;). Go and celebrate because you well and truly earned it. I think that there is a lot of pressure on young people and letters on a page. I personally didn't get all my predicted grades, I gave up in certain subjects but I managed to achieve my goal of going to sixth form and then to go and complete a History degree. I must secretly enjoy education as I'm still studying.

I should probably point out I got my GSCES 8 years ago and my A Levels 6 years ago. Im getting on a bit....

But remember if you didn't get what you want you can always retake or try to better next time. Don't beat yourself up too much. It's done, you can't change it. Your parents and friends will still love you.

People aren't defined by whats on a piece of paper. I cant't remember the last time that someone asked for my GCSES or A Levels, when I was in my first job and Uni that was it.

People are brilliant in different ways. I may be 'clever' on paper, but when it comes to practial tasks such as learning to drive and working with my hands, I suckkkkk. I think that the beauty of life. Everyone is different.

If you are unsure as to the next step I have written a previous blog on Uni. You can check that out here.

Remember that Uni is not the be all and end all. There are other courses after school that you can take if you want to stay in education. There are also Apprenticeships and work based schemes that will give you qualifications

I have previously recorded a vlog on this subject (one of my first) and you can see this below :

I hope that this blog helps a few of you to feel a little bit and little bit more relaxed.

Drop me a message if you are currently waiting for results / just got them OR if you are older like me, drop me some memories of your results day.

Hi Everyone, So for the first couple of days of the Easter Holiday, Luke and I went down to Hastings to see my Mum. It was nice to get away for a night, it encouraged me to get the camera out and to escape work and its stresses. Before I left, I got my kit through from Anthony Nolan, so I got my mouth swabbed and sent off!

It was important that I got it done as I want to join the donor register as soon as I can. A doner saved my mothers life, so if I can and I'm a match, I want to do the same. I also joined the Blood donor register for the NHS, this is something that I can do three times in a year, where as Anthony Nolan is once in a lifetime. I just need to work on my Iron levels as I'm on a vegan diet! --- So back to the weekend. On Friday, we left at 6 in the morning and were by the coast for around ten o clock.

I was reunited with my childhood pet Sidney, he's not been well recently so it was important that he got all the cuddles. He recently also lost his sister, so I …

Hello Everyone! So as of Friday, I am on holiday for nine days! Its well overdue and its nice to have some freedom. I think the stresses of my 9-5 job were spilling into my everyday life. --- So for day one, I went to the Races in Chichester. It was a work event so I didn't have to pay anything. We had a group picnic, so for my contribution, I baked some cakes.

I made Lemon cupcakes and triple chocolate cakes.

I forgot to take a picture of them when they were iced! dooohhhhhhhh. The Lemon Cakes were dairy free so I could eat those ones, I was told that the chocolate ones were to die for. However as I was doing a mass bake, The chocolate ones weren't done in a baking tin so the mixture escaped. oooops. ---- So the day in chichester was really nice.

The weather was very warm and the sun was out in full force.

In fact, I tanned quite nicely (only burnt a tiny bit). It was nice to relax with people that I work with because we've all been under pressure lately. We managed to pick…

Hello everyone, I thought that I would write a little post about the recent trip we took to the Peak District. (If you want to skip the post and just watch the video... you can do so below)

If you aren't familiar with my travel posts, I only take and post one picture per day of my holiday. I am not a fan of having pictures of every little thing as I think its messy and it adds extra value to the one image that you have chosen to be the one!

Day one: (Ok so this is two....)

We didn't arrive in Litten Mill till around 3pm (as that was the check in time for the cottage ( you can check out the tour in the video.)) We went and gathered supplies from the local Morrisons and had a feast by the river. The cottage was in the middle of a valley, so no signal and completely cut off from the world. It was so peaceful. Around 7pm, Dad asked me whether we wanted to go on a little after dinner walk. Little did I know, this meant climbing the side of the valley!!!
